Another spacer thread
Finally received my spacers. 25 mm and 35 mm.
Good quality spacers, I am surprised.
I have tourmalines and here are the results. I have stock everything and it turned out OK.
Comments welcome. When you are doing spacers, safety 1st. Use jack stands.

Spacers installed.
TIP: For the front, have somebody step on the brakes so you can torque the bolts. For the rear, use the parking brake.

I can truly understand why they say 20 mm and 30 mm are perfect.
With 25 and 35, they are further out and as long as they do not rub, it is OK.
So I would recommend 20 and 30. Unless you want the look on the 25/35. They sell 22 and 32, maybe that would be perfect for some people.

Yes ebay. I did some limited driving so far OK. Did about 65 mph, seems ok. Will do high speed driving this weekend.
Looking at the spacers, the hub centric adapters, it looks solid and will not cause issues. But do not know yet. So far with city driving, it is looking good.
But not sold to 100% endorsing it so far.
Hence I will not not spill the seller's name yet.
But you can search fleabay and find only a few who supplies other than Ichiba, HR, etc.

With the spacer design I bought it will not cause vibration. Extending the wheels 1 to 1.5 inches out and not a perfectly balanced wheel, jury is still out.

Mandy, I think your 25/35 looks perfect
I got 20/30 and I always think they can come out some more, it is not quite flush yet.
Please let us know if you feel any vibration when you drive the car more, and if you ever rub, thanks
This is my 20/30 with stock 06'+ wheels/tires. Are those stock size tires you are running?

I ran up to about 60 mph, no apparent vibration. But need to get it on the hway to see any issues.
I can tell that the handling is a bit different from stock, however good or bad, can not tell.
So far am happy with it.
As far as the 20/30 vs 25/35, aesthetics wise, 25/35 looks better on stock wheels which I believe the Tourmalines are. And if there is no rubbing, 25/35 is the way to go.
Different cars have different level of suspension condition so a "fit all" will not apply. My suspension is bit tighter according to another member who drove my car (I have an 04) compared to his 2005. He indicates that 2002 to 2004 had 1 set of suspension and 2005 and up they actually softened the suspension, this is according to a Lexus dealer, do not know if this is accurate.

20 or 25 fronts and 35 rear, I say. Looking good.
